EPPO start operating on 1 June 2021

[@aukemeijer1762]

Of course Poland and Hungary are not participating...
Bulgaria, Romania and Czechia participating is a good sign though

[@alexsmsn]

Laura Kövesi, the EPPO chief seen in the video, is from Romania and has been the chief anti corruption prosecutor there for quite some time. She prosecuted a few prime ministers and other public figures and got convictions. She is tough.

@@alexsmsn Ahh I think I remember sth now ... didn't some romanian politicians try to prevent her from taking that office? 😂

[@thisiscrazy4122]

@@Damathus The Romanian Parliament forced the Romanian President to fire her as the Romanian President it's a glorified powerless position.
She also had troubles with being threatened by a "private investigative team" that sought to intimidate her relatives, called BlackCube whom are now in jail.

That funny or what?

[@Damathus]

Not surprised that Poland and especially Hungary are not participating. But why Ireland, Denmark and Sweden?

[@balazsrekettye8713]

Denmark and Ireland have opt-out treaties with the EU, and Sweden has already commented that they might join in the near future!

[@thisiscrazy4122]

It's a wait an see type of situation as Denmark it's highly Europsceptic. Not the British Brexit dumb Europsceptic, but constructive type, as their bark over the EU problems are actual problems that we need to find a solutions for it.

Every EU state should be participating. I‘d start with the states who are not participating.
